How To Choose A Knight (28 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 47
Rainer turned his body with a faint smile.
“Brother.”
Axel wore an expression that plainly said he was tired of correcting his brother’s mannerisms. But Rainer only grinned more brightly. In his imagination, he was threading bait onto a hook. The bait wriggled enticingly.
“I’m not that foolish. There will be no chaos caused by you, Brother. Even if there were, it would only be helpful commotion—giving me an excuse to clear away those bothersome nuisances.”
“…….”
“I need trustworthy allies. Help me swallow the lands of Jissen. Once this matter is neatly concluded, I’ll truly do as you wish. You may return here or stay elsewhere—I guarantee your peace in the King’s name.”
Axel pressed hard against the corners of his eyes. To anyone watching, he was clearly searching for words to refuse.
That couldn’t be allowed. Rainer gently continued.
“And besides, lost items must be returned.”
A soft thud sounded. Hidden behind that noise, a pair of pale gray eyes slowly turned toward the King. The paper pinned to the wall trembled faintly.
“I believe someone will come looking for this item.”
The words that had been about to spill out were abruptly sealed shut. Rainer delighted even in that tiny gesture.
“Well then? Are these terms agreeable enough for a contract?”
The King tapped the vegetation map once more.
Meeting the King’s gaze, he felt absolute certainty about the victory soon to come.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”

Axel is already secretly devoted to her. He doesn’t want to label his feelings that might inconvenience her. She on the other hand clearly understood her feelings and drew a line. Yet can’t keep those feelings in check
